On April 22\, 2010 3\:30-4\:30 pm in the children's area we will do a craft and have children plant a flower seed (type yet to be determined). This would be something they will take home with them and make their yard pretty. We also will have a book display and read a story or two.

We have put together a book display as well in our foyer. For more information contact Nancy Graf.
